Would you want Jose now?

[DTS]

Totally hypohetical questions I know but.....

Was on train today with Mrs DtS coming into work and we were talking Jose being sackedat Chelsea.

Mrs DtS who does know a fiar bit about football in fairness said Steve Tilson better watch out now as Jose could be Roots Hall bound.

This got me thinking would I swap him for Tilly.

The answer I have come to is No - I wouldn't swap Tilly for Jose.

JM is obviously a great manager but I dont think he could cut it with no cash and I would doubt his loyalty.


Would you have Tilly or Jose given the choice which you wont be.

 

[EnglandShrimper]

No thanks. Really cant stand Jose.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Tilson without a doubt!!!

 

[SUFCEssex]

Tilly. Not sure Jose could do the job without 100m to spend.

 

[Pubey]

i would argue that tilly has a better record in the transfer market than mourinho. managing lower league footie on a shoe-string budget is COMPLETELY different to managing Chelsea and there bottomless pit of money.

tilly is my man

No, of course, it's not as if he won the Champions League with an unfancied club, with no superstars in it, of course not.

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Tilly all the way, he is st Southend for the club not the money

 

[Shrimper James]

Erm, Mourhino for me. No offence, but come on? I'd have him over Tilly.

 

[Chelmer Shrimper]

There is a great piece in The Times that looks at JM's style of management vs Abramovich's desires for Chelsea, it basically says that he wants a team of hardworking players with no perceived "stars" and was provided with quite the opposite in the end. So I think he would cope on a budget as he would want to build a team that works for him.

Still would stick with Sir Steve at RH though, can't see the "Special One" in such a small technical area.

I'd want to stick with Tilson, it's a different world down here and Tilson is part of a long-term plan at this club which has already worked spectacularly well.

Mind you if the insane few that want Tilson out get their way, I'll take Mourinho as a replacement. Better than Glenn (Agent) Roeder (who would be the best we could attract non-hypothetically) anyday.

Done alright at Porto with a limited budget...

 

[Shrimper James]

I can't believe people are actually saying they'd have Steve Tilson over Jose Mourhino at Southend.

Unbelievable.

Sod budgets and loyalty and all that poppycock- Jose has won the Champions League with Porto, the Premiership twice, the League Cup twice, the FA Cup and turned an average Premiership team into one of the best clubs in Europe, all in three years.

I love Tilson, but come on people. If this is a serious question then there's one answer for me- Mourhino. In a shot.

 

[DTS]

No, of course, it's not as if he won the Champions League with an unfancied club, with no superstars in it, of course not.

Whilst they were not a massive club you can hardly compare Porto to Southend can you.

 

[shrimper_sam]

Alvin Martin was Sacked when did this happen :o personally i like Jose, love to see him at the hall, not at the cost of tilson though!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

I'd have Steve Wignall over both of them.

 

[Shrimper James]

I'd have Steve Wignall over both of them.

What about a joint management team of Steve Wignall and Alvin Martin? Wiggers can take care of the tactical side of things whilst Alvin can use his shrewd knowledge of the transfer market to bring some bargains in...?

Sorry James but if the question is should we sack a tremendous club servant who has been both unswervingly loyal and successful during a total of around 15 years at our club, and is part of a team that has got results on and off the pitch, to bring in someone with no ties to the club or the area, with no contacts at this level just when we are starting to turn the corner again makes no sense.

Mourinho is a brilliant manager and a master tactician, and he would probably do well at this level after finding his feet and adapting to the huge difference from the Premiership, but I wouldn't treat Tilson like that for anyone.

You're obviously more loyal to Tilson than i am then Jai.

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

Tilly for me! Nobody can replace our loyal, local and legendary manager.
